Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 Replying to [comment:15 lunar]:
 > Page is loaded from port 443. It contains a resource that is fetched
 from port 4242. The exit node selected to load the page doesn't allow
 exiting on port 4242. Will you have a single circuit? Or will the external
 resources not be loaded at all?

 That's an interesting point. Currently, I believe TorBrowser's Tor
 instance isn't using `IsolateDestPort`. Does Tor automatically choose a
 new circuit if an outgoing port is blocked?
